RE: The result of VARIABLE[1,3] + 0

Hi Marco,

 

Universe doesn't use the + for concatenation, it uses the : (colon) symbol eg. '123':'456' will result in '123456'.

 

Both these examples come up with the expected results (1 and 579) on version 10.0.2 (UV personal edition, Linux) and also on 10.0.8 on Tru64.

Subject: The result of VARIABLE[1,3] + 0

Hi All,

 

What is the correct interpratation of

 

A = '0010000'

B = A[1,3] + 0

PRINT B

 

On UV 9.6 I get 0010 contrary to my expectation of 1. What is the logical explanation of this. Does UV use '+' for string concatenation as well? Then why doesnt '123' + '456' result in '123456' (I get a runtime error)?

 

Regards,

Marco
